Avenger Style Holster Acrylic Template for Compact Pistols
Build professional-looking leather holsters with confidence using this Avenger Style Holster Acrylic Template from Pastor Bob Leatherworks. Designed and made in Southwest Missouri, this reusable acrylic template helps leathercrafters create clean, accurate holsters while saving time in the shop.
PLEASE NOTE: This listing is for the acrylic template only. Photos of completed holsters are shown for example purposes only and are not included.
Say Goodbye to Paper Patterns
Paper patterns work for a while. However, they eventually bend, tear, wrinkle, and wear out. As a result, they become harder to trace and less accurate over time.
Instead, use a durable acrylic template that stays flat and holds its shape. Because of that, you can produce cleaner cuts and more consistent results.
Even better, you can reuse this template for years. Therefore, it is a valuable addition to any leatherworking shop.
Classic Avenger Style Holster
This template creates a traditional Avenger-style leather holster.
Many leatherworkers prefer the Avenger design because it offers excellent belt support and a comfortable carry position. In addition, it provides a clean, professional appearance that looks great on plain holsters and heavily tooled custom builds alike.
Whether you are making a holster for yourself, a customer, or a gift, this pattern provides a reliable starting point.
Durable Acrylic Construction
Each template is precision laser cut from 1/8-inch clear acrylic for long-lasting use.
The set includes two template pieces:
Main Holster Pattern
Use the larger template to trace and cut the main body of the holster.
Belt Loop Pattern
Use the smaller template to create the belt loop and supporting components.
Together, these pieces help improve accuracy while making the layout process faster and easier.
Add Your Own Personal Style
One of the best parts of leatherworking is creating something unique. Therefore, this template gives you plenty of room to customize your holster.
Keep it simple and functional. Or create a detailed showpiece with custom tooling and carving.
Popular customization options include:
- Basket weave stamping
- Floral carving
- Sheridan-style tooling
- Border stamping
- Initials and names
- Decorative stitching
- Custom dye work
- Antique finishes
- Exotic leather overlays
As a result, no two holsters need to look alike.
